Unfortunately, this method is not available in Java 1.1, so it must be provided here.As for the implementation of this method, it is taken from Arrays.java as found in Classpath 0.0.2 (2001-01-06). Go to www.classpath.org to learn more about the project, which implements the Java core libraries under the GPL.
